This bright and flavorful salsa is made from tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeños and lime juice. Its colors – red, white and green – mimic the colors in the Mexican flag. The key to a good Pico de Gallo is to use the freshest ingredients available. While it can be prepared a day ahead, it is best served shortly after preparing.

4 Roma tomatoes, diced
1 small white onion, finely diced
½ cup cilantro, chopped
1-2 jalapeños, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Salt to taste

In a medium size bowl, add all ingredients and stir gently until well combined. Chill Pico de Gallo in the refrigerator for about 1 hour before serving.
